    Summary

    Before his third year of Hogwarts has even begun, Harry faces three whole weeks of unsupervised time in Diagon Alley. In that time he takes a trip to Gringotts - and that changes everything.

    Burdened with the knowledge that Dumbledore has been blocking his family magic, and manipulating far more than he ever thought possible, Harry doesn't know who he can trust; but he knows he can't keep going that way. There's a whole world of lore and politics and history to catch up on, and the more he learns, the more Harry realises his true place in the world, and how much is being kept hidden from him. All the while, Dumbledore's twinkling eyes are constantly watching, and Harry can't let on how much he knows.

    With help from unexpected places, Harry starts on a journey to end the war, and reshape the wizarding world. With how much he looks like James Potter, people have forgotten one important thing about him - he is Lily Evans' son, and she was one hell of a witch.

    Summary

    "What is your name." He wouldn't care usually, but the way this kid had avoided it last time he asked, he was curious.
    "I've had six so far." He answers slowly, weighing each word. "Which one do you want?"
    Six names? Yep, there is something going on there.
    "The real one. The one that fits you best."
    "Not my birth name then?" He sounds almost hopeful?
    Andrew waits until he sorts through his thoughts. He has another hour before he has to go back.
    "Abram." He decides after a long pause. "It's my middle name. The only one that doesn't have to change because it can just as easily be left out."

    Summary

    When Sirius Black was 5 years old, he woke up in the night to an agonizing pain. He pulled down his pyjama pants to look at his hip. In the warm glow of lamplight, the jagged bite mark seemed to dance like fire, gold rippling across his skin. It took up his entire hip, and he shuddered to imagine the massive creature that must have made it. He nearly threw up in horror and wondered if he'd know if his soulmate had died.

    For as long as Remus Lupin could remember, nasty and twisted marks would show up on his skin before vanishing with a sickening regularity. For the entirety of his first term at Hogwarts, not a single mark appears.

    -

    Soulmate AU where any injury a person gets blossoms in gold on their soulmate's skin, fading as it heals and offering small clues to help them find each other.

    Summary

    Sirius studied Remus’ face. He was curious what he thought of all of this, the only one of them who didn’t have a mark– theoretically– and the only one with a muggle parent. Muggles didn’t get marks, he knew. If Remus’ parents were soulmates, then they wouldn’t know it. He wondered if there was a way to tell, though. If they could just feel it, somehow, even without the help of some magical fate.

    Because it seemed like something you would just know, just from being near someone, from being close enough to them, from being in the same space. Like their souls would attract like magnets or like water droplets traveling down a window, waiting to merge until the last moment when they realized they were on the same path, and then they’d become one.

    Was that fate, Sirius wondered?

    He realized Remus was staring back at him, his eyes puzzled and curious and warm.

    Sirius looked away first and didn’t look back, pushing down something heavy and impossible in his chest.
